00:00Yeah, I'm the king of the jungle, I didn't want to make up something.
00:04I'm on the mic, you're in trouble, I'm twisted, I've seen it, I'm in trouble.
00:08It's got a lot of fun, it's got a lot of fun.
00:11Introducing first, from now to beat Florida, Victoria Crawford.
00:20Making her official TNA in-ring debut, this is Victoria Crawford.
00:26Has spent nearly 20 years in professional wrestling, starting back in 2006 in OVW.
00:3317 years in WWE, the first African-American to win the WWE Divas Championship.
00:43And Victoria Crawford has a chance to win another championship, as we learned.
00:48It will be two weeks from tomorrow, Friday, May 23rd, at underseeds in the Greater Toronto Area, Brampton, Ontario.
00:56For Robert Stone, Victoria Crawford will be challenging Masha Slamovic for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
01:02Robert, can you please explain to me how it is you, who don't work for this company, somehow got the authority to do this?
01:08Well, I used to work for the company, so I still, I know people who know people.
01:11I still got connections, that's how I roll.
01:14Right. Simple as that, Tom, see?
01:15It's super simple that way, I just want to get into more of this here in a minute.
01:19It's wonderful to see Brittany Brooks getting the chance to compete on TNA Impact.
01:31Brittany Brooks is the girlfriend of Chris Bay.
01:34I want to invite fans to go to tnawrestling.com slash bay.
01:38All purchase and donation links go directly to Chris Bay on his road to recovery.
01:43It was great to see Chris Bay backstage for TNA Impact earlier on tonight, here in the Greater Los Angeles area.
01:51But the question right now is, Brittany Brooks extending a hand to Victoria Crawford.
01:56And look at that, guys.
01:57Do you see that?
01:58Do you see why Victoria deserves that Knockout Championship match?
02:01You know, you used an interesting word there, Robert.
02:03Deserves.
02:03She hasn't earned it, because she hasn't had a match in TNA until now.
02:08Look at her credentials.
02:10You said it, Tom.
02:10You did many years in advance, thank you.
02:12Ray Waltz, a former NXT Tag Team Champion, so all of a sudden you should go to NXT and challenge Hank and Tank, right?
02:17Yes!
02:18Look, Victoria, she checks every box, Tom.
02:21She checks every box.
02:22She gets right into the title picture.
02:24Let me tell you something.
02:25She's going to win.
02:26Going to light suit, black suit, the cover, and a kickout.
02:28Okay, here's another question.
02:29What's your issue with Masha Slamovich's champion?
02:32Look, the higher-ups want someone who can be the face of the knockouts division, the face of the company.
02:37And she just isn't it.
02:39Look at this Masha beat Jordan Grace and Bound for Glory.
02:43Remember that?
02:44I know you've never really had a big place there, but Bound for Glory's our biggest event in the world.
02:48See, Matt, that's why I like you better.
02:49You know, I'm in with the higher-ups, Tom.
02:51I can talk to people.
02:52You may not be here next week.
02:54And right now, there's a match going on, gentlemen.
03:02It's not here at the table.
03:03It's in the ring.
03:03Oh, the axe kick.
03:06It might be over.
03:07Victoria Crawford wins her TNA in-ring debut.
03:13And by the way, Victoria Crawford somehow is our deputy director of authority.
03:25I don't know how you pulled that off.
03:26The DDA.
03:27Yeah, the DDA.
03:28Look, she's victorious.
03:29Did I predict that?
03:30Do you want to take back being rude to me now, Tom?
03:32No, I'm good.
03:34Matt, please handle this.
03:36Get her out of here!
03:36What the hell is going on?
03:41What do you mean, what's going on?
03:42I understand what's going on.
03:44Of course you do.
03:45She's talking Smack.
03:45That's what you do before a big match.
03:47And what that Smack has done is drawn out the Knockouts World Champion herself,
03:53Masha Slamovich.
03:59Slamovich, who's been dominant as champion for nearly 200 days,
04:04just got to undefeated Tessa Blanchard.
04:06And Rebellion, and now taking down Crawford.
04:11Slamovich does her better talking with her fist.
04:13But wait a second.
04:14Oh, there's Tessa Blanchard.
04:16Blanchard attacking Slamovich.
04:20Buzzsaw.
04:21Love it.
04:24Tessa Blanchard, who seems very keen on Robert Stone's style of management as well,
04:29I might add.
04:30And speaking of true management in this company,
04:36the director of authority, Santina Morella.
04:42That's enough of it, okay, look.
04:43This one's an easy one.
04:45Easy, easy lemon squeezy.
04:48Okay, next week, it's going to be Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawfish.
04:53And you're going to be facing Masha Slamovich and the partner of her choosing.
05:02Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:06Whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:08Santino, Santino, Santino, Santino, Santino, Santino.
05:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second.
05:17Correction, Santino.
05:19So you already let Matt Hardy pick his partner earlier,
05:23and you can't just let the inmates run the asylum.
05:30So I, Robert Stone, is going to pick Masha's partner for next week.
05:37It's straight from NXT, it's going to be the YMS, Nikita Lyons.
05:53Robert Stone, I guess, flexing his authority.
05:57He knows the right people.
05:59And as a result, Robert Stone continuing to make waves here in TNA Wrestling.
06:07And all of this, much to the chagrin of Masha Slamovich and Santino Marella.
